Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon

The Japanese B-movie style of previously released games in the series has been replaced with a slightly more serious tone. Don't be fooled though, this is still Earth Defense Force inside and out; and its heart is in the right place.

Old hands will still find much of the personality and singular vision of the franchise intact, but it's the newcomers, ironically, who might find Insect Armageddon a jarring mix of old-fashioned thrills and modern gameplay trends.

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon- Xbox 360

There's very little story, no characterization at all, and no real ending, so if you need those things in your game, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you're content with the pure, elegant beauty of trying to kill every blasted thing that comes...

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon- Xbox 360

At least EDF is honest about what it is, and delivers the same thrills and more often at a significantly lower price. To put it sweetly - and with a delicious culinary metaphor! - Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is all cake and no icing. As long...

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon- Xbox 360

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a classic example of too much of a good thing. Repetition and grinding prevent it from being a B-game classic, but taken in short bursts its unique brand of giant bug slaying mayhem is unlike anything else out...
